One of the recruiting priorities for first-year Oregon State football coach Jonathan Smith was to get “taller and more athletic,” especially on the edge defensively.

Smith and his coaching staff addressed those and other needs with the addition of 13 recruits Wednesday on National Signing Day.

Of course, when you’re coming off a 1-11 season that included zero victories in the Pac-12, there are needs across the board.

Combined with players who signed during the early signing period in December, the Beavers’ 2018 recruiting class has 24 players total – 13 on defense and 11 on offense.

So which players will make an immediate impact?

“Hopefully all of ‘em and we’re gonna give ‘em a chance to do that,” Smith said Wednesday. “Ultimately we don’t know. These guys are gonna come on campus and get a chance to compete right away and we’ll see how that plays out.”

OSU’s recruiting class is ranked last in the Pac-12 and No. 70 nationally by 247Sports. Smith was hired Nov. 29 and in two-plus months he’s assembled a staff and gone through two signing periods.
